7 Congregatique sunt ad eum viri vanissimi, et filii Belial: et praevaluerunt contra Roboam filium Salomonis: porro Roboam erat rudis, et corde pavido, nec potuit resistere eis.

9 Et eiecistis Sacerdotes Domini, filios Aaron, atque Levitas: et fecistis vobis Sacerdotes sicut omnes populi terrarum: quicumque venerit, et initiaverit manum suam in tauro de bobus, et in arietibus septem, fit sacerdos eorum, qui non sunt dii.
And ye han caste a wei the preestis of the Lord, the sones of Aaron, and dekenes, and ye han maad preestis to you, as alle the puplis of londis han preestis; who euer cometh and halewith his hond in a bole, in oxis, and in seuene wetheris, anoon he is maad preest of hem that ben not goddis.

11 Holocausta quoque offerunt Domino per singulos dies mane et vespere, et thymiama iuxta legis praecepta confectum, et proponuntur panes in mensa mundissima, estque apud nos candelabrum aureum, et lucernae eius, ut accendantur semper ad vesperam: nos quippe custodimus praecepta Domini Dei nostri, quem vos reliquistis.
